debian.s390 problem

[Dan Deward]

Hi,

I noticed that the method that method word_new does one xmalloc, and
word_free does one xfree, but word_dup does two xmalloc's.  Wouldn't this
case a memory leak when word_free is used on a word that was word_dup'ed?
These three methods are in word.c

Clint,

I looked at the debian page for bogofilter's test results.  It's pretty 
cool to have all that info readily available.

Given that bogofilter successfully passed on most of the architectures and 
that the directory precedence code is pretty simple stuff, my curiosity was 
aroused.  I was looking forward to seeing the log files to identify the 
strange and mysterious cause of the failures.

Given the volume of email since 0.11.1.4 was released, and the defects that 
have been fixed, 0.11.1.5 will be built this week.

By the way, thank you very much for the commentary on asian spam.  I found 
it very interesting.
